No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 male animals per dose were used for the fertility test after 3, 12 and 27 weeks of treatment.
Control animals:
yes, plain diet
Details on study design:
The test was performed by mating each male with 5 females of proven fertility for 4 days then females were killed 14 days later.

Examinations

Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
SACRIFICE
- Maternal animals: All females were sacrificed 14 days after mating.

GROSS NECROPSY
- The number of pregnant females, corpora lutea, live/ dead foetuses and early/ late resorptions were recorded.
